"Time for the world to end"

As in any book, the last part is always the most intense. Tests are made and or heroes take critical decisions. Normally, the character would found himself in a dilemma, dancing in the line between two ideas, two choices; but not Cassie, she knows what she wants and she knows what she's going to do, even though she discovers something that could have destroyed any other person, if not at least weakened in their decisions she doesn't take it like that and overcome's it, use it to her advantage...something that I think was really clever and also made me like the book a little bit more “I am a shark, Cassie," he says slowly, (..). "A shark who dreamed he was a man.”  She was kind of betrayed, someone kept a secret from her and I thought she was going to react differently, but she decided to trust, to overcome the situation. That's really important for her because her main rule was not to trust anybody, but she knows now that there are other ways besides the constant fear. In that kind of world in which you have to constantly make the decision between kill and been killed, people are forced to mentally grow much faster so that makes people more mature, more focused. If Cassie had acted like a drama queen and go all 'I hate you, I hope you die' attitude, well... it would have really bothered me. Also, something that improved was Cassie-Evan relationship. It's still an insta-love, but it was well managed after that and I like how they act as a couple and the extra plot that gives to the book.

So, (in my opinion) Cassie grew a little bit as a character, but she's not the only one. Zombie a.k.a Ben is less upsetting. In the beginning, he was like clay. He had no opinion, no personal thought and he didn't take any actions for his own; he had some kind of internal fight and really deep reflexions, but that was all. He thinks a lot but doesn't do much. NOW things are different, he had this idea inside of his head the whole time and as it grew I began to realize that he was going to take action so time soon. I was right, and now I actually like Ben. He is much focused and has taken this role of the leader which is great.

“The kid who didn't go back when he should have and now goes back when he shouldn't. The kid called Zombie, who made a promise, and if he breaks that promise, the war is over - not the big war, but the war that matters, the one in the battlefield of his heart.

Because promises matter. They matter now more than ever.” This quote is so intense, the moment and the reason he thought this were a great combination and created this feeling of anticipation and excitement. A lot of things had happened to Ben, but now he is making everything right and this just gain strength is great, I really like it because it makes the whole book a lot more intense and it made me jubilant to see how he evolved and took risks 

 The end of the book its filled with action, it's pure action and running away. Cassie is in the final lap and her loved ones depend on her if she takes a false step now everything could be lost “It's almost dawn. You can feel it coming. The world holds its breath because there's really no guarantee that the sun will rise. That there was a yesterday doesn't mean there will be a tomorrow.” This part of the book is so great, it's intense and filled with strong emotions because the danger is in every corner. After the kind of boring second part of this book, I liked it a lot, I was pleased and by the time I finished the book I was eager to buy the second one and start reading.
